I feel like I accomplished a whole bunch today at my internship. I worked really hard and in return feel really great about the work I did today. Tomorrow I get to go to Capitol Hill after lunch and hand out the packets and letters I worked on today to Congressmen.
Today I emailed a shelter in the NoVA area that helps transition refugees from other countries to life in the USA. I really want to work on this for my civil engagement project this semester, so I'm hoping I hear back from them.
I'm very excited about my weekend plans! Tomorrow evening after I finish with my lobbying, I'm going out with some friends to see The Dark Knight on iMAX at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. We may go out and get dinner afterwards if we aren't feeling too poor.
My roommate and I are planning on going out and seeing some of the major DC attractions this weekend so we can cross them off our Must Visit lists. Very few of the things we plan to do cost money (besides the metro), so it's perfect for penny pinching interns.
This blog is a collection of experiences during Toni's internship in a government relations firm in the Washington D.C. area.
"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily
differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
